India Today
Raj and DK’s The Family Man 2 carries forward the legacy of one of our favourite homegrown spy thrillers. Starring Manoj Bajpayee and Samantha Akkineni in lead roles, we decode why the befitting sequel is a superhit.
It was in 2019 that Raj and DK introduced us to the world-class spy and a family man - Srikant Tiwari, played by Manoj Bajpayee. Broadly classified as an espionage thriller, the series offered a beguiling combination of action, drama, and comedy. It became a bona fide success. Now, its second season has been declared a winner by the critics and the audience. This time, Manoj Bajpayee is sharing the glory with the fiery Samantha Akkineni AKA Raji. On Monday Masala, we take a look at what makes this Amazon Prime Video series a blockbuster. Before delving into season two of The Family Man, let’s recall why Manoj Bajpayee’s Srikant Tiwari didn’t lose himself among a long list of secret agents we have seen on screen. He is a common guy who is trying to achieve a work-life balance. He wants to fulfil his responsibility towards his country as a Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC) agent and keep peace at home too. However, his wife complains of his absence and his kids are distant too. Srikant just can’t catch a break.
